The prime ISS-36 crew had their final day of final exams today. In the Soyuz simulator, they faced some malfunctions during the 2-day ISS approach scheme. They received an "excellent" score.

The back-up crew finished their final exams yesterday (while the prime had their exams in the mock-up of the Russian segment of the ISS).
